[IOS ISSUE]: SplashScreen.show() not working on iOS after react-native layer running

[saladestomateoignon]

Hello guys,

I have the following config:

• react-native: 0.72.12,
• react-native-splash-screen: 3.3.0.

My AppDelegate.mm looks like this:

- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions
{
  self.moduleName = @"MyApp";
  self.initialProps = @{};

  BOOL didFinish = [super application:application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:launchOptions];
  if (didFinish == YES) {
    [RNSplashScreen show];
  }
  return didFinish;
}

After my app booted, I am able to hide by calling SplashScreen.hide() inside a useEffect, like this;

useEffect(() => SplashScreen.hide(), []);

However, if I want to call SplashScreen.show() inside my react-native layer, it simply does not work. The function does nothing.
This issue happens ONLY ON IOS (on Android, calling SplashScreen.show() works perfectly).

Have you ever encountered this issue before? Any tips for making it work?

Thanks.

Hi guys,

I have the following configuration:

react-native: 0.76.5
react-native-splash-screen: ^3.3.0

I'm experiencing the same issue. I tried adding [RNSplashScreen show]; to my AppDelegate.mm file, but my app gets stuck on the splash screen.

Does anyone have a solution for this?

I tried this #637 (comment) solution.

And it works for me!
